Abstract
A logical circuit device has a MOS transistor having a source region, a drain region, a channel region defined between the source region and the drain region, and a gate electrode formed above the channel region, respectively formed on a semiconductor substrate. The amplitude of a voltage applied to the gate electrode necessary for making the channel region conductive is not level throughout the channel region in the width direction. Using such a logical circuit device, flip-flop circuits and storage circuits of a multivalued logic type can be realized.
